There we were, high on the moors between Wolsingham and Hamsterley, when we heard the distant clamour of geese ........... then these two greylags hove into view ......
..... passed a few feet overhead with a lot of excited 'honking' and then disappeared over the horizon.

They have got to be the noisiest birds in the UK. I rather like them.

Noisy creatures aren't they? Lovely to watch though.
yes,the noisiest and the most aggressive birds! I was bitten by one of their ilk in Assam a few days ago:(
Me too Adrian, they sometimes seem to be holding conversations...
I think they're greylags Danny
I really enjoy watching flocks of geese in autumn Toffeeapple - they make a wonderful wild sound..
Hi lotusleaf, I think they've been used as the avian equivalents of watchdogs - see http://www.ancientsites.com/aw/Thread/1211592
I love these noisy geese. Very sociable.
